FOLLOWING ITS MAINNET LAUNCH, WANCHAIN (WAN) SURGES OVER 50%



Wanchain’s (WAN) price increased by over 50% over the past two days, after a major announcement from the team behind the project.
The company announced that they will begin earning rewards for securing the network when the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm replaces the previous Permissioned Proof-of-Work (PPoW) algorithm on September 3. Following last month’s partnership with the Malaysian digital giant PUC Berhard, Wanchain’s token received a boost.
“POS can get a lot of involvement from the community. Once they get used to the POS, some people will be more encouraged to use their token power to participate in all the on-chain governance and events,” Wanchain’s CEO Jack Lu, said to Tech Tic Technologies in an exclusive interview upon WAN’s beta launch.
A day before the launch of Wanchain’s Validator nodes on the Mainnet, the company announced the release of several new products. Prior to the mainnet’s official launch, an Android mobile wallet, desktop light wallet, and new website were introduced to the public.



The statement from the company also shared that over 140 validators had joined the beta test network, playing a key role and providing valuable feedback. All users were also encouraged to stake their coins before the activation of the new Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm in September.

Wanchain’s Price Reacts

Wanchain’s mission is to connect the decentralized financial world, and its price reacted immediately to the news. WAN has appreciated significantly in the last 24 hours, up almost 55% against the US dollar and 49% against Bitcoin. WAN currently possesses a market cap of just over $34 million and a price of $0.336 per coin. It’s still down 96.8% from its all-time high of $9.84, however.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two.
